sachin… that song list is not exhaustive for sure…however those songs are confirmed as of now…
also “different world” might not feature since the tour theme highlights relatively older releases…
incase u get more info on the same .. plz do update all of us…
meanwhile you can also checkout the following statement:.. it has enough clues if u read it carefully!!!!!!:):)
Rod Smallwood, Iron Maiden’s Manager, further commented; “Following Bruce’s various hints from on stage this last year about our plans for 2008 (“We are taking some time off to build some pyramids!”), fans have been pestering me for details of the tour and especially asking which songs from that era will be played. That may be as easy as a run in the hills but we will keep our aces close to our chest on this issue. I know it would only take a couple of minutes but at this stage of planning, I’d have to be clairvoyant to know what they will do. I’m sure though it will be no revelation for you that we intend to make up for those wasted years by visiting a large number of hallowed metal venues around the world. Historically ‘Powerslave’ was an incredibly important album for the band and it would be madness if we didn’t give the fans a taste of the full on Iron Maiden show from that time. With our jumbo there really is no rime nor reason why the band cannot now visit fans almost everywhere as many have been real troopers to have waited this long. Heaven only knows what the band will choose but if l could and did tell you now l would have to shoot you! You’ll all have to be patient and see. But it will be spectacular. No fear!!”
\m/\m/\m/
Thanks a ton for that info Udit. That Smallwood guy is clever! He’s made everything so painfully obvious!
This was your list:
* Run To The Hills
* Hallowed Be Thy Name
* The Number Of The Beast
* 2 Minutes To Midnight
* Aces High
* Flight Of Icarus
* The Trooper
* Wasted Years
* Heaven Can Wait
* The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
* Powerslave
In addition to your list, he’s hinting at :
Clairvoyant
Can I play with madness?
Revelations
Fear of the dark
The Manager is right – IT’S GOING TO BE SPECTACULAR!!
Up the Irons! \m/\m/
“large number of hallowed metal venues “………HALLOED BE THY NAME!!!!!HOPE THEY PLAY IT!!!
Yep… Sachin…. Looking forward to it…

They will be available at Planet M and Baskin Robbins, but we don’t know when..

Just bought my ticket (Blue Section) to the concert. I have a question – Are we allowed to take cameras inside? I have a digital camera with a good zoom. Would love to click some nice pics. Any inputs guys?
Hey Guys,
One more question – Any idea when is the band expected to land in Mumbai? (Date/Time)
Would love to click a pic of their Boeing 757 as well. 🙂
@ Vivek
a) No, you are NOT allowed to take a camera inside.
b) I have asked the same question about the time of landing, to the person who does PR for DNA Mumbai. Keeping fingers crossed on that.
hey prash .. looking forward for that news on the landing bit…
Are you sure that cameras are not allowed? Not even camera phones?
GUys,
I don’t think taking cameras & cam-phones inside wil be an issue.

FROM THE MAIDEN WEBSITE:
DOCUMENTARY OF SBIT TOUR FIRST LEG – FAN PARTICIPATION REQUESTED!!
Published: January 22, 2008
As well as everyone else on our 757 we have now added a seven man documentary crew who, as in their note below, are asking for Maiden fans in the many cities we play in Feb – Mar to contact them to be a part of this. This will be such an incredible and exciting tour that we agreed with Scot and Sam’s proposal to document this so if you see cameras following us around everywhere and around the stage you now know why!! A record of this is something that the band and myself would love to have and we are feel that many of you fans may feel hopefully feel the same – there has never been a tour quite like this before!.
More details later but below a note from the guys at Metal History and the contact email address.
IRON MAIDEN FANS WANTED FOR OFFICIAL TOUR DOCUMENTARY
Directors Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn of Banger Films Inc. (creators of the critically acclaimed, award-winning documentary Metal: Headbanger’s Journey and its soon-to-be-released follow-up Global Metal) are looking for Iron Maiden fans to be part of a feature documentary that will follow the first leg of the band’s upcoming Somewhere Back in Time tour during February and March.
On Feburary 1, Iron Maiden and their 70-strong road crew will embark on their most ambitious tour ever. They will load into a specially refitted Astreaus Boeing 757 decked out in iconic Eddie artwork and carrying 12 tons of equipment. For this first leg of the tour, they will then fly over 70,000 km to 21 cities across 4 continents, playing to over 400,000 fans in just 45 days. All this with lead singer/commercial pilot Bruce Dickinson at the helm.
For the official tour documentary, Scot and Sam will follow the band in the air and on the stage, giving viewers behind-the-scenes and front-and-centre access to the most anticipated metal tour of 2008.
They are now seeking Maiden fans in India, Australia, Japan, North America, Central America and South America to be part of this historic mission. If you’re a die-hard Maiden fan who is attending one or more concerts on the first leg of the upcoming tour (February 1 to March 16 2008) and are willing to be interviewed on camera about your passion for all things Maiden,
please email maiden@metalhistory.com and tell us why YOU should be in this movie! All ages encouraged.
\m/\m/\m/
@ prash any update on ven the plane’s landing????????
@ Sai & others,
Well, the person from the company which is doing press releases for DNA Mumbai, is saying that they are leaving on 30th Jan. So, most probs, they would arrive in the afternoon on 30th. Will let you know, if I get the exact timing.
hmm i didnt really read the back of the ticket will do so now …from udits post i got the impression that they are ENCOURAGING fans to carry A/V equips…well i dunno if ill even carry my phone cus i might end up leaving without one..hope all goes well 🙂
See you all at the Iron Maiden Mumbai concert.
woh,woh,woh,lucky u guys who gets to see f’cking good band to see them performing live onstage ,its the amazing feeling isnt it? cheers””’bring your daughters to make it more successful
yeah i read the ticket and it doesn’t say for sure that you cant carry a camera as it says thats one cant carry one unless specified otherwise ..and in udit’s post it seems quite clear that they want fans to record stuff…. im trying to look up the post on the maiden website would appreciate udit if you could send me the original link thanks
also i had mentioned earlier that tickets might be sold out its not true just a rumor…..
x-x-x-edit-x-x-x-x-x
i re read the thing on the maiden site and that not quite what they are saying…no i dont think u can carry cams well actually im pretty sure you cant…firstly u need to send an email interview to get picked and then they interview you ..you dont film anything yourself…ah well hopefully ill get some plane pics…someone should stand on juhu beach wen they are leaving u get an awesome pic of the front and underneath wen they are taking from there……landing is dicey i might or might not get a pic…..
also i found out some lucky ppl got to fly the maiden tour plane as their plane had technical difficulties ..as it was an Astraeus plane they got to use the maiden plane since it was sitting around (and it was commissioned from Astraeus) …heres the official thread..http://www.ironmaiden.com/index.php?categoryid=8&p2_articleid=741
Hey Maiden Fans ! Just wanted to say that this is the 100th comment on this Iron Maiden Mumbai Concert Post.
<*> Up the Irons!! <*>
btw: I do not understand as to why there is such a hula bu about cameras. The ticket clearly says that No cameras allowed.
However, cell phones with cameras were allowed for the last Iron Maiden concert in Bangalore.
Regarding MetalHistory documentary, the url is: http://www.ironmaiden.com/index.php?categoryid=8&p2_articleid=743
I am surely gonna buy the official Tour Video which shall be released at the end of this awesome tour. Cheers.
